Swfdec - Jul 2008 - [Bug 16720] New: swfdec doesn't support video format in an .flv

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16720

           Summary: swfdec doesn't support video format in an .flv
           Product: swfdec
           Version: 0.7.x
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://download.gamevideos.com/19943/gv.com.RageE32008Tr
                    ailer_640x360.flv
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: library
        AssignedTo: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: freedesktop at tevp.net
         QAContact: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org


The .flv at
http://download.gamevideos.com/19943/gv.com.RageE32008Trailer_640x360.flv (a
trailer from E3) gives the error 
"SWFDEC: ERROR: swfdec_resource.c(252):
swfdec_resource_stream_target_parse: no
decoder found for format" and refuses to play. Is there anything I can do
to
attempt to further narrow down *which* format this is, even if it can't be
played yet?

(This is with version 0.7.2)

Swfdec is a Flash player, not a video player. We used to support FLV playback
in the 0.4 series, but since setup for SWF and FLV is completely different and
confused the player, I dropped it.
Use Totem to play back FLV files.

I submitted this because the URL turned up as one of the "Loaded
stream" urls
while trying to view the movie at
http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/15/rage-trailer-now-with-ea-logo/. Admittedly,
I'm now getting a different error ("SWFDEC: ERROR:
swfdec_video_decoder.c(368):
swfdec_video_decoder_errorv: error decoding video: failed to pull decoded
buffer") but the result is the same: no video.
